Encouraging news concerning cancer comes from Dr. T. Colin Campbell's cancer research that concluded that an excess of animal protein (from meat, poultry, fish, eggs and dairy) tends to stimulate cancer, while plant - based nutrients tend to
decrease tumor development.
After discussing similar effects in other animal models of cancer and a few studies showing the ability of antioxidants to prevent cancer growth, Campbell concluded that «a pattern was beginning to emerge: nutrients from animal foods increased tumor development while nutrients from plant - based foods
decreased tumor development.»
Remember how Campbell said, summarizing this research, that «nutrients from animal - based foods increased tumor development while nutrients from plant - based foods
decreased tumor development»?
In describing the studies he conducted with his grad students, Campbell says only that a «pattern was beginning to emerge: nutrients from animal - based foods increased tumor development while nutrients from plant - based foods
decreased tumor development.»

In a
development that could lead to a new generation of drugs to precisely treat a range of diseases, scientists from the Florida campus of The Scripps Research Institute (TSRI) have for the first time designed a drug candidate that
decreases the growth of
tumor cells in animal models in one of the hardest to treat cancers — triple negative breast cancer.
It has been postulated that hypoxia contributes directly to the
development of more aggressive cancers by exerting selective pressure on the
tumor cell population to favor cells that can survive
decreased O2 and nutrients [18 — 20].
The chronically stressed mice had
decreased immune function and experienced
tumor development significantly earlier than the non-stressed mice.16 Other mouse studies of ovarian cancer showed that chronic stress resulted in increased cancer growth as well as increased angiogenesis, the process with which cancer forms new blood vessels to feed itself nutrients for growth and metastases.17 Chronic stress has also been shown to
decrease our body's ability to mount an attack against foreign invaders, including viruses.18 As we know that several viruses can cause cancer (HPV and cervical cancer, and EBV and nasopharyngeal cancer), we can extrapolate that any
decrease in immune function could increase cancer risk.
